Have you ever written about Godzilla Minus One, which made it into Netflix's Top 10 last week? Yes Is it still there? Yes (although some places are down from the previous #1 spot) This gives me a great excuse to say: I'm asking you to consider seeing "Godzilla Minus One" once again"Yes, even if you've never seen a Godzilla movie in your life (It was also the first for me when I was blown away by it in the theater The film is as much about the indelible human spirit as the monster doesOk Kaiju Penanigan
